| Summary |
"Everyday Political Objects examines a series of historical case studies across a very broad timescale, using objects as a means to develop different approaches to understanding politics where both internal and external definitions of the political prove inadequate. Analysing case studies from France, the Congo, Burkina Faso, Romania, and Britain between the early Middle Ages and the present day makes this study the perfect tool for students and scholars in the disciplines of history, art history, political science, anthropology, and archaeology"-- Provided by publisher |
